Hell no - I played sports, but I didn't even know what powerlifting was, Sometimes I do the whole if I started back then, but then I remember I'm 37 and it's probably good to have less mileage at this point.

Donnie Eguires Why the decision to stop orals 6 weeks out when most people are usually blasting mad hard? Also do you think it helped or hurt your performance?
Great question - at one time I'd pound orals like most- but I'm 37 and had a good ten years of abusing drugs and alcohol, my liver isn't in the best shape - so I have been working on finding a sweet spot. My last I ran nine days- and that screwed things up, so I'experimentent with 21 days for the next one.

2. Recovery sleep, eating,r ecovery workouts
3. Training at percentages and having faith in a program- that was huge once you get confident - shit gets crazy
